[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The physical issue sounds serious, the rest of it sounds like typical bad behavior of 6 year old girls. Tattling to the teacher or exaggerating isn’t spreading rumors. She might have thought your daughter was rude, when she wasn’t, bc they are 6 and have completely warped interpretation of situations. You are talking about 6 yo like they are teenagers lol. But again the physical stuff is bad, and I have seen kids friendships go south in this exact way with a few friends of mine. And no the mother’s friendship never recovered. In the future, if you want to save the friendship, you have to find a way to resolve it without calling the other child a bully and being more collaborative rather than blaming (even if the kid is more at fault, that never goes over well and parents get defensive)[/quote]

I didn’t call the child a bully to her face. I didn’t even blame her child. I said it broke my heart the kids weren’t playing well and it seemed to both child’s benefit that they be separated for now and that my hope is that they could reconnect later. I am not that undiplomatic. But let’s face it the reality is the relationship won’t be the same. [/quote]
